Short bibliographies are often printed
in library bulletins Many of these are
ephemeral and are useful only at the time
of publication but some, especially those
on very small or local subjects, have a
continuing value For indexes to lists in
American bulletins see the following

Bnmet's Manuel is a general bibliography of rare,
important, or noteworthy books not limited to those
of any one period or language but especially strong for
French and Latin titles and for publications before the
19th century For each book listed it gives author, full
title, place, publisher, date, size, number of volumes,
but not generally paging, and, in the case of rare books,
bibliographic and critical notes with mention of copies
and prices at famous sales and occasional facsimiles of
title pages, printers' marks, etc The arrangement of the
mam work (vl-5) is alphabetic by authors and titles
and there are two subject indexes, one in v 6 to the
mam work and one in v 8 to the supplement Foot-
notes throughout v 1-5 refer to titles omitted from the
main author list but included in the subject volume
